I have an old BOC Automaster 185 mig. It was working fine then was prodding the weld pool with the wire. The wire feed is happening but it seems to be stuck on max feed but not 100% sure what that's like as it's never really been used at max speed. The feed control knob turns but has no effect on feed. I tried spraying elec contact cleaner into pot. The current setting knob (6 position?) has no effect on wire feed. There is an arc at the tip.
Any clues? Sometimes I manage to mend pcbs myself if I know which bit to replace.
I found a thread for similar problems on an SIP unit and will try that diagnosis on mine but it would be great if info already on this.
